Rome, Ga. - The host committee for Rome, Ga., and Shorter College's NAIA National Football Championship announced today that the official Web site of the 2008 & 2009 championship games has been completed. The Web site can be found at www.NAIAnationalchampionship.com.

The official site of the NAIA's 53rd and 54th Annual Football National Championship games includes information regarding pre-game activities, information about the city of Rome, the history of the game and ticket sales.

"We are excited about the Web site and the ability to share the story of the game with the public," said Shorter College Athletic Director Bill Peterson and co-chair of the host committee. "Not only will the site provide information surrounding the events of the game, but football fans can now begin buying tickets. We believe it will be an exceptional resource for NAIA fans in the coming months."

The NAIA Football National Championship will be played on December 20, while the 2009 event will be on December 19. Both championship titles will be played at Barron Stadium, home to the Shorter College Hawks.

The site was designed and developed by Shorter College's Web manager Dana Thompson. Other individuals involved with the project were Peterson; Dawn Tolbert, the college's director of institutional relations, Jim O'Hara, the Rome News-Tribune's sports editor and Grant Kersey, Shorter's sports information director.
